Decapodians

One of the most recognizable species in the Futurama catalogue is that of the Decapodians. These crustacean uprights come from Planet Decapod 10 and were once greatly feared among the human race due to their reign of terror on Earth. They have since become accepted in Earth culture amidst the arts and day-to-day life. During maturation they go through a series of metamorphosis where their bioligical form varies drastically, but upon maturation they resemble their static lobster-biped form. They perform elaborate mating rituals when the males become pint up with jelly. Their species dies a gruesome death upon mating, which raises the awkward point that every Decapodian met is a virgin by nature of their being alive. Dr. John Zoidberg is a Decapodian.
